Description
You'd never guess it, but Eight Rooms has eight rooms -- all in a Khmer-style shopfront on the road by Artisans d'Angkor. The staff member who showed us around was very helpful and, as they say on their slick website seemed more than happy to share our guesthouse with everyone. Keeping that welcoming in mind, the foyer is an open plan affair and has been well swished through with the style brush and the rooms are also a big step above the typical Khmer shophouse fare. They're a good size, with real mattresses, a sharp paintjob and even a flash of decor. All are air-con, kitted out with DVD, cable TV and minibar. Complimentary internet is available on the ground floor and there's apparently a rooftop terrace as well, but we weren't shown that when we passed through. All up, for the money, this is a pretty good find -- made even better by free airport and bus-station pick-up.

We stayed for 3 nights in Feb 08 and found the staff friendly and helpful. We had an initial missunderstanding not being collect from the bus. So we got our own tuk tuk and were compensated without having to ask!
They've got more than 8 rooms now and we stayed across the road in the new block which was clean, $2 less, but not as charming as the main building. However very convient location (only a few mintues walk from the ''alley'' a great little pedestrian street with good restaraunts and boutiques)and we organised tours of Angkor on a tuk tuk from the hotel which proved reasonible.

I would definitely recommend a stay at Eight Rooms. The staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful - more than happy to organise drivers, tour guides and provide advice. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. We were in room no. 8 and paid $18USD a night. The guesthouse is only a 3 minute walk to pub street and the old market. With free internet and airport pick-up it was a pleasant experience.
